Perspectives

Dear Editor:

HEROS

Dear Editor,

Isn’t it wonderful to be alive to take in the wonders of the world and the things that warm our heart to the depth of our soul.  For example, the beauty of several inches of snow on the boughs of a family blue spruce, the smell of bbq on the grill, the taste of your perfect pizza, the touch of a loved one in a sentimental moment, or the sound of a child’s laughter.  While these are all fine examples of beautiful enjoyment of the five senses.  I offer you an excellent example of the sixth sense.

Could it really be Spring already? Forecasters are predicting another 10 days of temperatures well above normal here and in other parts of the Great Lakes region. It’s only half past February, and we’ve had a couple of days of rain that stayed just that...rain. Car windshields were frosty some mornings during the past week, but there was no ice falling from the sky, and no ice freezing on roads.
